Sorry, I must have left something out, I think the second "$".  What
this does is drill through to latex to use math symbols.  It's not
lilypond really, but it is still tolerated.  \markup doesn't do
\textcircled, or smallcaps, as of 2.1.32.  I hope that this will
continue to work.  These just worked on lilypond 2.1.32:

c'4^"$\\!\\!\\textcircled{4}$"
 
c'4^"$\\!\\!\\large{\\textcircled{\\textsc{e}}}$"

The $---$ surround the latex commands, which are double slashed.
\textsc is smallcaps, which are nice for strings for more
advanced players, because you can lose some numbers.  (If
it's good enough for Villa Lobos it's good enough for me.)
these, "\\!", are backspacing, because the left edge of the
ring is aligned instead of its contents.  daveA
